Trandem. The purpose of The Experiment is to
produce the best in live standup, improv and
sketch shows in New York City & Los Angeles;
as well as creating innovative comedic
content for the Internet in video, audio,
and written forms via their website.

The 8 is a weekly standup show where the
same set of 5 comedians perform 10 minutes
of standup comedy every Sunday for an entire
year. This project is designed to give a
space for comedians to grow their unique
voice, through time, consistency, and
discipline.
Every set will be recorded culminating in 8
hours of recorded stand up for each
comedian. At the end of the project the 40
hours of comedy will be cut into a
compilation album showcasing the evolution
of these comedic voices. email:
